  • Hello everyone!
    And welcome back to another Tekken 8 video!
    With the saga between Jin and Kazuya having finally concluded, today I though It would be the perfect time to sit down and talk, about a surprise reveal In the Dark Awakens story, a remanent of a lost era, and mysterious allusive character of the franchise, Angel, or as we say In Tekken 8’s story, Angel Jin!
    Now Angel Is an old, and i mean very old character within the franchise, one as mysteriousas Jun Kazama, but why so has this been the case for the character, especially her for her narrative significance and role In Tekken 8’s story?
    Well that’s what we will be exploring In todays video, as well as her connection with the devil gene!
    With that being said, It Is worth noting that this video will be an interesting hybrid video of sorts, one based around the character of Angel In the franchise, and then how that’s implemented Into Tekken 8’s story through Jin Kazama!
    With that said, please do enjoy the video!

    Interesting to note, there might have been a hint even earlier of the presence of Angel Jin. At the end of Tekken 4, when Jin defeats Heihachi and Kazuya, and he prepares to do a killing blow, he has a brief vision of Jun and decides to leave them. As he flies off, a single single white feather descends, something Angel leaves behind in her non canon Tag endings.

And Harada replied yes, Jin's kazama blood is why his devil looks different from Kazuaya's. That tweet was prior to the TK8 release. Now long times fans have always wondered about this and the kazamas connection to Angel, because of the purification power. Fun fact in one of the old tekken comics, Jun transforms into Angel 😇.

    I think the power of purification is exclusive to the Kazama line and the Angel is a representation of that power. As for the Hachijo the Manifestation of Devil works in similar manner, which slowly corrupts the users, along with the Mishima who uses their electrical abilities to dominate the battlefield.

    To see Jin in Angel Form was unexpected, but surprising! Ik Angel been missing for years in the cannon story, but she still apart of it, just as much as The Devil. Honestly, I like this form, something different in the storyline, hopefully in the next installment, we get more of Angel Jin character development!

      Unlikely, as Jins Angel form had been a direct result of the purification of his Devil gene. Of which, has since been eviscerated alongside Kazuya's during their battle just outside of Earth's atmosphere. In his words, they're merely human now, with the only character still possessing such power being Reina- unbeknownst to either of them.
      Jun will likely help Kazuya to redeem himself between his defeat at the hands of Jin, and the next installment- and he and Jin will fight side by side as normal people (by Tekken standards) to combat what remains of Azazel's power.

    My thing is this, I believe is canon that Jin's Devil Gene created the mark on his left arm, and that the Devil Gene can't exist without Azazel.
    If Jin's mark is still present and Reina has a Devil form, then both Azazel and the Devil Gene are still around. Maybe Kazuya doesn't have it anymore but Jin and Reina most likely still do, as well as all of Kazuya's future also evil siblings until the game stops making money.
    Damn shame, was hoping this game would actually end that stuff but it seems like its going to keep going forever.

But as the canon currently stands with this most recent installment (just released less than a week ago, mind you) Angel Jin returning simply isn't in the cards as the Kazama's have the power of purification, not Amgelhood. The only reason why Jin was able to transform into an "Angel" was because the purification process altered/ enhanced Jins "Devil" state. Without access to that power, it can't be purified and by extension, utilized as a transformation.

    Blood Vengeance/Tag 2s Dark Archangel Jin>>>Angel Jin
    Angel Jin was only slightly stronger than True Devil Kazuya who was somewhat challenged by Lars and Reina while Movie Devil treated Jin like a little baby and then Movie Archangel Jin completely dominated that Devil.
    Also those non canon forms give a major height boost,showing its a more drastic transformation.
    It was stated in the movie that Kazuyas form made him 10x stronger but he didn't seem more than 3x stronger in the game.
    It makes sense cause Movie Devil Jin seems both angelic and demonic.
    Angel was never retconned from canon.
    She is 100% canon.
    She was never part of Kazuyas soul,why would Kazuya have a blond woman as part of his soul?
    Angel is stated in manuals to simply be just that,an Angel.
    She saw what was going on with Kazuya and descended to help him withhis soul by fighting his Devil.
    Jun was the one to have the relationship with Kazuya while Angel handled the Devil persona.
    She cant possibly be non canon as she appeared in a canon game.
    While there have been retcons most of those "retcons" are fans simply not understanding the story.
    Like the reason Heihachi threw Kazuya off a cliff
    While there was a retcon there, what was originally said isnt actually undone.
    Heihachi throwing him off to test Kazuya is what Heihachi told Kazuya and what Kazuya always believed,as the Tekken 1 story is from Kazuyas perspective.
    The scene where Heihachi tells him he is going to test him is still present in story recap in Tekken 8.
    Heihachi didnt want to reveal the truth why he did it,but testing Kazuya was simply what was the "public excuse"

    I actually waited to comment on the Jin, Devil Jin and Jun videos because of this video. Anyway, As someone who has played Tekken 2 growing up I kinda gave up on Angel ever showing up again after Tekken Tag Tournament games. There was no reason why I gave up I just didn't think she would show up again. Angel being retconned out of the story didn't help either. But maybe it was wrong for me to give up on her but it is what is it is. I almost gave up on Jun returning too but I still held on. Honestly Jin is one of my favorites as he was easier to use but mainly I felt more connected to his story since playing Tekken was kind of a thing I did with my Dad and my sister back when I was talking to my dad.

  • @blackmark2899

    It looked like Angel form was achieved due to the Kazama's bloodline power of purification combining with the Devil Gene to make what I can only describe as the Anti-Venom of the Devils. As we saw every hit landed on Kazuya it started purifying him. It did it's job, it purified Kazuya and Jin of the Devil Gene. I think that's a good place to let Jin rest and live his life. He probably still has the Kazama's purification in him but I would propose Asuka as a the hero to go against Reina. She too has the Kazama ability of purification and she really hasn't come into her own.

      Jins Angel form had been a direct result of the purification of his Devil gene. Of which, has since been eviscerated alongside Kazuya's during their battle just outside of Earth's atmosphere. In his words, they're merely human now, with the only character still possessing such power being Reina- unbeknownst to either of them. Jun will likely help Kazuya to redeem himself between his defeat at the hands of Jin, and the next installment- and he and Jin will fight side by side as normal people (by Tekken standards) to combat what remains of Azazel's power.
      As the canon currently stands with this most recent installment (just released less than a week ago, mind you) Angel Jin returning simply isn't in the cards as the Kazama's have the power of purification, not Amgelhood. The only reason why Jin was able to transform into an "Angel" was because the purification process altered/ enhanced Jins "Devil" state. Without access to that power, it can't be purified and by extension, utilized as a transformation.
      Ergo- no "Devil Gene", no "Angel form". As the Devil Gene had been crucial in achieving the form in the first place, with it's needing to be "purified" via his Mother/ Kazama heritage. Jin still has Kazama blood flowing through his veins, but he nolonger has the Devil Gene necessary to attain said transformation following its purification.

      @@TrueReverse74 Those decisions were made LONG before the developers had a concrete narrative for the series. We're talking nearly 30 years ago. They've retconned many things over the course of several titles to create, and solidify this current narrative/ storyline. They've put alot of focus on these last two titles- with particular regard to the narrative, and how they intend to push said narrative moving forward. As it stands, what you're suggesting simply isn't in the cards. The attention to detail as it pertains to Tekken 8 is unheard of in the series. All of the pieces have been carefully put into place for the next installment. And new lore pertaining to the Mishima's, and Kazama's have been painstakingly established.
